This page can be used to discuss anything you like, whether it’s hockey, or anything else (short of viagra, and other exciting spam topics). Just use the comments down below to post what you like. Try not to get too out of hand. Obviously keep it clean still, and keep it legal. Other than that, feel free to talk about whatever you like here.

From TSN: Details of who the Flames get in return is still unknown, but when asked if forwards Matt Stajan and Niklas Hagman were main components in the deal, a source told TSN, “it’s bigger than that.”

DropIt:
I cant see Kessel… but you would think Calgary gets a GOOD Dman back, seeing as how they lost both Aulie and Phaneuf… Maybe a Komisarek or Baeuchemin?and we had to have gotten some offense in numbers here

Haha watch them get Jamal Mayers and future considerations just to open up cap room to make a potentially bigger trade. =p

Oh and Racki, you should whip up an aesthetically pleasing template for a trade post for POTF main page. Haha maybe use some images and coloured tables like you do in the GDT’s. That way when a trade finally comes POTF will be prepared. It will probably be a while since we’re still in tank below all other teams mode.

Horpensky: Holy crap the NHL world suddenly exploded. Our two hated rivals make a huge trade. While Tambo waits till the trade deadline to do anything.

Yah, it’s tough to sit here and be patient… but the Leafs don’t have their top pick… they have nothing to gain by finishing dead last. I’m OK with Tambi riding out this state-of-shit for a bit longer. But come trade deadline, he’s got to do something. At WORST, he has to unload before next season starts.

I think it’s easy as fans sometimes to read media reports and say things like “I hate Brian Burke” but when something like this happens it reminds us that they’re just people too.

It sucks, and my deep condolences go out to the family.

You took the words right out of my mouth Gr8one, my condolences to the Burke family as well, I can’t even imagine what he’s feeling right now. It’s times like these where we do realize he’s just a person too.

yah honestly, the speculation is that he’s losing interest in it. Maybe the media pressure is too much. He had enough to deal with, with his daughter dying a couple years ago, maybe it’s just all too much for him. I don’t know.

From Jason Gregor: “The rumours are already flying out of Montreal that Gainey was told to either trade Carey Price or step down. That seems like a stretch to me, but it will be interesting to see what the Canadiens do moving forward with their goaltending. It seems obvious that one of Price or Halak will be dealt. But, the Habs have to answer the million dollar question and pick the right one to trade.”

It always appeared to me like Gainey would stand behind Carey Price to the bitter end. It appears that they aren’t interested in moving either guy at this point, as per the presser today, but perhaps this opens the door for something to happen in the future. Draft day deal?
